There are already many rumors that point in the direction that the next iPhone 7 Apple will have a slimmer body thanks, to a large extent, to the fact that it will lack the classic 3.5 headphone jack connection, so that both the Lightning port and Bluetooth connectivity will be responsible for connecting headphones to the terminal.
New headphones for iPhone 7
So far it is still not entirely sure if Apple will include in the box of the iPhone 7 some EarPods that would incorporate a Lightning connector or some EarPods with Bluetooth connectivity, however, the specialized web 9to5Mac suggests that Apple will include Lightning EarPods with the iPhone 7, while working on a new series of wireless Bluetooth headphones that will be sold alongside the new flagship (separately) as a high-quality accessory and alternative to the Lightning connection EarPods.
While headphones Bluetooth Traditional, including Apple's own PowerBeats, have a cable that connects both pieces for the left and right ear to each other, Apple would be designing one headphones that do not include that connection cable. These headphones would be similar in design to the Dash Bragi, a set of headphones that has separate pieces for each ear.
The latest version of the new Apple / Beats wireless headphones in development do not include any ports for charging, in contrast to the mini-USB port on current wireless Beats. Instead, the new headphones will likely come with a carrying case that doubles as a rechargeable battery for the headphones when not in use.
A recent rumor suggests that Apple might use a new audio technology in iPhone 7 which improves noise cancellation as well as the sound of music plays and phone calls, and this technology could also be extended to future Apple wireless headphones.
In October, the trademark application for an audio accessory under the name of "AirPods" It was related to Apple, so these wireless headphones could adopt the name "AirPods" and would be sold simultaneously to the existing EarPods.
According to 9to5Mac, although Apple is already developing these headphones to be released in the fall coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 7, there is a possibility that the technology could be delayed due to existing concerns about how it will affect battery life which, according to these same rumors, would be four hours.
Lastly, this report from 9to5Mac also suggests that Apple is finalizing the design for the iPhone 7, testing three designs ranging from a slimmer model to a device that looks a lot like the iPhone 6s.
